3rd May - Danang, Marble Mountain and China Beach
Another hot day, so we decided to climb a mountain (of course!)
|
| Climbing the 100s of steps up Marble Mountain in the 35C+ heat! |
|
|
|
| Almost at the top of Marble Mountain |
|
| Praying to the Goddess of the Buddha in the caves. Used by the Viet Cong in the war. |
|
| View from the top. There are other mountains |
|
| As you might expect, Marble Mountain is surrounded by shops and factories making marble ornaments. These were a bit too big for the suitcase. |
|
| Looking back up Marble Mountain. |
|
| China Beach. Used for R&R by the Yanks in the war. Now being developed into an international tourist resort. |

| The market in Danang |
